To prescribe antibiotics appropriately requires access to information and guidance from multiple sources. In prescribing for individual patients, the first line of information relates to specific isolate and antimicrobial resistance data. This data may not be available within the time window to be useable, and for many patients who have infections for which there is no isolate, it may not be available at all.

前言

适当开抗生素处方需要从多个来源获得信息和指导。在开处方患者时，第一行信息与特定的分离物和抗菌素耐药性数据有关。此数据可能无法在可用的时间范围内获得，对于许多没有分离株的感染患者，可能根本无法获得。
